Feedback Farmerama - Game and Features

Jenloring, I don't really know as I didn't pay too much attention. I assume it will stay the same, but please ask our mods in the general question area for a proper answer. They are almost all-knowing when it comes to the game.

 

Add me to the list of those living out their old package and not moving to the new. It's far too much money for what we get. Expanding the water tower and giving me unlimited water makes no sense. The market benefits have disappeared, the drop increase has disappeared and personally I liked getting my 1 free pheromone per breeding! The extra gifts are welcome, but I don't need the extra neighbours. The new auto harvest feature lacks the convenience of the old. And the price - OUCH and double ouch if you're in the UK due to the increase in pricing. So, I guess I'll save my money and have conceded that I can live without these new "improved" benefits.

 

60% increase in price for me and less value than before for me. I enjoyed the previous version of premium and subscribed for years. Not going to purchase this version of premium. I have lived without the premium since late November so will keep doing so.

 

BP, these points are very well taken. Perhaps you should do a little tweaking?? Or just give back the things mentioned that were taken away....then maybe it would be closer value to your price increase... and LO!...more customers!
Since it is virtual, it costs you n-o-t-h-i-n-g.

 

I need to get something of my Chest about Premium. So i am going to put a summary of my views and list each Feature of Premium....But they are going to be all Negative Benefits. As overall it is not very attractive Features at All to Subscribe for 7.99 Euro each Month...

Layout Saver

• You cannot save and Restore Pets among your Field of Trees,Crops,Animal Pens or Workshops. To Swap out three saved layouts that are ideal to farming style. For Events or Normal Farming.

Auto Tree Harvester

The only best Feature of Premium is Auto Tree Harvester. But sadly this feature is not as good as it use to be as we can only Benefit this up to a week Worth. So why pay more for this feature and get less value, benefit and reward from this.

Now there is no more Weeds in Farmerama. Perhaps it is time to say goodbye to Auto Tree Harvester and start using Comfort Fields on our longest Time Crops. As there is no longer worries of getting weeds.

As Refinements has already have excluded getting weeds sooner for good. No more weeds...

Farmerama/Big Point you have to bear in Mind many farmers here have Multi Farms which each farm has a Premium Account if you do not do any reasonable adjustments ASAP

Then is would be Huge outcry than many farmers will not be renewing their Premium Account

I await until you give us a far more Convincing Premium Package, that is well worth having !!

It is your Lost of Revenue to fail that most premium farmers have Multi Farms. Most of them have FOCD.

 

Mooboy, my dear Neighbor - please excuse me if my opinion differs a bit from yours. I do agree with some of your objections - the cost being #1! A Maximum of 5.99 USD would be more reasonable, if it also included a few of the tweaks mentioned elsewhere, and the good things from the old Premium pkg. were restored. Better to sell lots of 5.99's than few more expensive ones!

(Remember, BP, these Premiums are virtual, and-cost-you-nothing! You could 'afford' to give us the Virtual Moon...and we'd buy it!...but it still would cost you Nothing!)

Layout Saver... I absolutely Love!! It provides a way for us to quickly have our fields prepared for Events - and for me personally, and possibly others - free up soooo much more space for growing....everything!! Event crops, especially - which I have a very hard time completing because I do not care to destroy my farm, as I have worked so hard to organize it for maximum return.

I also like the Pets being left where they are as they provide benefits for other fields as well. We have the choice to remove them or not, and I like having that choice.

During Breeding Events, we can choose to use a pre-prepared and Saved field full of breeding animals - ready and planted in an instant! Great for people who work or have time limitations.
Since 3 saves are available for each and every field, it doesn't matter which ones they choose for Events.
And - just for fun - we can make and save all kinds of different fields - yes, just for fun! (Yes, I said it twice - I love to have fun with my farm!)

Bonus Pack - I like this. I can always use these things on my farm, and even though I have lots of Jumbo trees....I still run out of these things. They increase my yields - equates to CC's...and why turn down Power Feed??! I need all of that I can get...saves me BB's. Most of the time I use water on crops, and for longer growing, also use manure.
So I am glad they have added this feature.

While I have plenty of Neighbors and do not need more, I cannot always gift them...so the additional gifts mean a lot to me.

Free Spins? They either save or earn EP's or CC's in one way or another, even the buffs, so happy to have that, too.

Auto Tree Harvester? Ahhhh, yes!! We agree in every part of this feature - including STRONGLY Objecting to it now being limited to only 1 week!!!! Many farmers have complained about this!
This feature NEEDS to be restored to the way it was - unlimited!!

Will I buy this Premium Pkg.?? Maybe, maybe Not, at the current overcharge. Certainly Not for all my baby farms!!

Mooboy has an excellent point there, BP.

 

Thank you so much for a seasonal gift that is 1x2 and can go in the clouds!
The design is also great.

 

Daily Login Bonus: Why would BP give a 2 hr. builder (gift #17) as a login bonus in the middle of an ongoing event? Mine went to waste because my fields were already planted and it was not a coupon.

New neighbor gift: "No Trespassing" is greatly appreciated because it is a 1x2 and has nice colorful artwork.

 

Thank you BP for giving us the new Workshop and Workshop upgrade tabs.
Thank you also for putting Tree Fruit in their own category in the market

 

Two events at once? Really??
Shaking My Head!!! haha real funny BP please tell me this is a late April Fool's trick?
My mind is exploding
How is this even going to work?
If you plant Glowberries, harvesting will give Thermos Flask
and
if you plant Star Flowers you will reap Nublonian Batteries?
and what will out trees and animals give???

Honestly BP you have enough going on with the switch of servers & such than to be running two events at once. Oh yea you have been having loads of bugs lately too. Maybe you could put some of the energy that goes into running the scripts for the events into stopping these bugs. Hump, people are logging on and finding out all their Flasks are missing... you know some kind of bug going around and I get on this evening and find out there is a second event running WOW... Come on BP you have work to do and honestly, I'm sure there are other farmers that would agree with me when I say we could use a little break too.
We have real farming to do, trees to plant and pick, crops to grow, feed to make and animals to feed and first tier breed We can't always be playing little games

PS when reading this, the tone is not nasty or mean just 'matter-a-factly' that's all just some constructive criticism. You have undertaken a really huge job with the take over or merge, I forget. Switching to a new server, changing core features, updating the information forms, and all the other stuff. All along you are adding new animals and workshops. By the way Thanks a heap for the new tabs separating all that into categories. BIG BIG WIN there!!!
IDK think I talk too much. LOL
I looked to put this post in the player feedback but I could not find where to start a thread, only where I could comment and/or like threads already opened by Mods.

 

I'm afraid I can only give negative feedback for the Recycl-O-Mat event.

I agree that two events requiring drops (and therefore gifts) is not a good move. The crops on the Recycling event are next to useless - why even bother having them? If this event was the only one on, it might be worthwhile - but I have never grown the event crops for this event, could never see the point. If they gave a much better exchange rate, that would be a different matter.

Also, when we go to donate, the two event crops are on the default menu. They are both yellow and we could quite easily donate the wrong crops - I would be very upset if I donated Glowberry by mistake.

I have made exactly the same error each time this event comes round - yes, it's my fault but if I make it (and I've been playing this game over seven years), I am sure many make it. You only give the maximum amount we can pay in. I thought I had to put the total in. It would be more beneficial to tell us the minimum pay in amount. I am likely to lose most of my donation as I am unlikely to get enough batteries in the time left.

Last but by no means least, I also agree that it was not fair to put one of the Candy Surprise items on offer in this event. If we don't get it this time, will it be available after the event?

This could have been a nice event on its own.

 

Having just seen the preview for May - there is not one day for the whole month that doesn't have an event happening! This is way, way, way too intense. Granted, one or two of them may not be growing events - but then there is also Moonlight Mania, and a breeding event, with no time to grow the animals for it! Back off the event schedule, BP, it's way too demanding. This is supposed to be a game, not a job.

 

You read my thoughts, matselleste. Back to back to back events, for 22 days straight?! What were you thinking? Over and over and over I read posts from farmers pleading for a break, because we're all burned out from the constant events. I realize you have to keep a delicate balance with us fussy farmers; too little time between events and we're irritated by the constant farming, too long and we cry we're bored. But this is becoming ridiculous. Month after month we're being inundated with grow-and-throw events with little to no time in between. Often the prizes are less than desirable, and cost way more than they're worth. And more and more often "medium" difficulty events are leaving even high level and presumably experienced farmers struggling to finish. I said this last year after the ownership transition had been in place a few months, and I'll repeat it again now; the game, this "free to play" game that many of us have loved for quite a while now is no longer the game we fell for way back when. Yes, I understand the need to grow and change, but structuring events to try to force us to buy baskets and other amenities is going to backfire on you badly. I can tell you as a mentor that new players are not staying with this game, and long-time players are leaving on a steady basis, because it's becoming less a place, as metselleste stated, to relax and have fun, and more a source of disappointment and frustration. Please, stop pressuring us to buy, buy, buy (if you haven't noticed, we can be very stubborn, so the more you push, the less you get). Give us at least a few days between events to catch our breath and restock. And let us go back to loving life on the farm. In the words of a popular '90s infomercial icon, STOP the INSANITY!!!

On the positive note, I love the new seasonal gift and separate tree fruit tab in the market as well. And the butterfly upgrades - beautiful!

 

I think that some of the new players leave because they are unable to finish the events. When an event is open to a player that player should be able to complete it by either buying baskets or putting in the time necessary to grow the crops, etc. There are some players who will buy the baskets because they don't want to spend all that time on the computer (due to work, family, etc.) and there are those who will spend the time to be finish an event (because they don't have the money or they view it as a challenge). There have been events open to certain level players where they could not finish because they couldn't get enough drops or because they couldn't provide certain items required (breeding animals, products or crops). A recent one was open to Level 3 players -- a level 3 player can grow up cress, lettuce, wheat, carrots and hay -- none of these provide drops when harvested. They can continue to grow the event crops but they don't have the same drop-rate as a 9-hour or above crop. I have barely finished some of the recent events (1-2 hours remaining) and I am at Level 95. If an event is listed as being open to Level 26 and up I am not saying that a lower level player should not be able to participate but that they know up front that they probably will not be able to finish -- only those Level 26 and above will be able to obtain the # drops required by harvesting their available crops plus event crop(s) and have access to other items required (breeding animals, workshop items, etc.). Currently if it is listed as Level 26 it is just open to Level 26 and up players whether they are expected to complete it or not.

I agree with your comments re back-to-back events too. Yeah, I know we can sit them out but we all want to get the new pens, cloud rows, trees, etc. offered. For one thing they will be required in other events so when you don't get them you are unable to complete other events/quests in the future.

 

I harvested 4 palladium stables and I got a weasel, a orange fox and.... TWO orange rabbit stables......... wow, I'm really impressed

 

Back to back growing events, is not okay. It ruins the entire fun, it becomes a chore. Bad move BP.

Everybody can find older and older sources to document players hope to get coupons instead of instant harvest helper.

I remember the day when I discover the permanent All Harvest INSTANT Helpers:
10 + 20 + 40 ‘Goat milk’ delivered to take 12 + 24 + 36 hours time remain.
Since, several Quests waiting for the right moment to use the
24 + 24 + 48 = 96 (Guano; Angora Frenzy) or
15 + 30 + 50 = 95 (Milk for Everyone) or
12 + 24 + 48 = 84 (Wool; Gertrude’s Organic Eggs) or the
12 + 24 + 36 = 72 (all other Workshop Quests) hour time remain.
I collect different forms of stackable time remain values and appreciate the Harvest Helper Coupon (my collection actually be composed with 4x24 & 11x12 & 22x3 & 24x1).
I am able to sacrifice a 96 hours All Harvest Helpers quest suite to save 1 Harvest Helper Coupon hour.

Why not make adjustable the Farm droid, Harvester, Seeder, Builder and Magic Stalk Helper offers available under the ‘Service’ tab in the ‘Supply store’ in the Farmerama ‘city’? Let us use the Twin Scale Button to define the time to know how much to pay or to decide the price and take the time remain.

 

Thank you mods for starting to include an edit msg on the end of the FAQ, it's really great. Two thumbs up, and keep up the good work!

 

Thank you for giving us another farming area in Bahamarama.

But

The requirement of 400 ShopORama coins to open a portion of the Crystal Falls island is too high! It takes a long time to collect the coins. They're only available from spinning the wheel and doing quests, so getting coins is even harder than getting bananas. And longer! With a requirement of 400 it will be months before probably many players and I will be able to access that part of the Island.

Very disgruntled farmer.

 

The requirements for the new land in Bahamarama are tremendous not only the ShopoRama coins but the quest too!
We have to give most of our Bahamarama barn to complete these tasks!
I also believe the 40 Golden Bananas is a big amount too for only 22 1x1 fields!
